Tuesday, February 24, 2026-Vicki Gunvalson has confirmed she is safe and not in Puerto Vallarta as the popular Mexican resort town experiences violent unrest linked to cartel retaliation following a recent military operation.
Gunvalson — best known for her role on The Real Housewives of Orange County — reassured followers via social media that she was out of harm’s way and thanked fans for their messages of concern. She also asked people to keep those affected by the situation in their thoughts and prayers.
The violence gripping Puerto Vallarta erupted in the wake of a security operation that resulted in the death of a major cartel leader, triggering widespread gunfire, roadblocks, and unrest that caught both locals and tourists off guard. Although Gunvalson owns a vacation property in the area and has long ties to the city, she was not present during the outbreak of violence.
As authorities work to stabilize the situation, many visitors remain stranded and local officials are urging residents and tourists to exercise caution. Gunvalson’s message of support for those in Puerto Vallarta reflects broader concern for the safety of people in the region amid ongoing security challenges.
